VERONA. The fine Veronese bridges are not mentioned in this
monograph; they passed from the text in a revision; but pontists
know them well, and set great store by the charming Ponte di
Pietra, and by the old sloping bridge with forked battlements
that swaggers picturesquely across the Adige from the Castel
Vecchio. The Ponte di Pietra rises from ancient foundations and
she still retains two Roman arches, certainly often restored;
the other spans are gracefully architectural. A circular bay for
the relief of floods tunnels the spandrils above the cutwater of
the middle pier.
